the body has to be resealed from underneath.

Happened to mine, fixed under warranty

hmm. recal warranty by anychance? i only have powertrain, AC, and heater warranty

Ouch.

Should be that hard to fix, it's just finding the hole which is probably the size of a pea.

If you have access to a lift, might be easier to see

yeah i do, just a matter of not being worn out after working 12 hours n staying late, would silicone seal the whole enugh?

gasket maker!!! i used for everything on my winter beater. it's holding my service plate for my clutch and sealed my spoiler. it stinks but works great.

you'd be better off using the correct seam sealer instead of an RTV. RTV can promote corrosion where the seam sealer is designed to be in places like that.
